A non-alcoholic cuvée for wine and aperitif moments. Cedro is ALTER’s citrus-led expression: a primary-aroma blend where Citrus medica (citron) meets Citrus paradisi (grapefruit), cooled by lemon verbena.

We grow our own herbs and distil them without alcohol to capture primary aromatics. These botanical distillates are blended with two selections of white grape varieties and organic white fruits (apple, pear)—all not from concentrate—to build depth, structure, and natural balance.

Cedro is "Crafted, not removed" which means not de-alcoholised (an industrial shortcut that strips aroma). It’s crafted from the ground up as a non-alcoholic alternative with a clean finish.

Nose: Bright white peach and pink grapefruit zest with a hint of verbena.
Palate: Bittersweet grapefruit, candied citron peel, and cool lemon-verbena herbality.
Finish: Clean, with refreshing bitterness and finely balanced acidity.

No preservatives.
No additives
No flavourings, “natural aromas,” or extracts.
From field to bottle: fair, craft production

What you can expect in the glass:
Not the taste of wine, but the layered complexity

ALTER blends botanicals, layer upon layer, with juices from unripe grapes and fruit. That creates complex layering, but of course no alcohol.

White Peach — Ceder Lemon — Verbena — Candied Grapefruit

Ceder Lemon or Citrus Medica

Citrons (the fruit used to make succade or candied peel) are large citrus fruits consisting mainly of rind. They are originally from Southeast Asia and are now also cultivated in Greece and Italy.
